...even Cover Girl's story-the one really conventional thing about it-gets in its way. It concerns the nightclub's proud proprietor (Gene Kelly), his one true love among the chorines (Rita Hayworth- and their friend, a clown called Genius (Phil Silvers).

The pseudo-folksy ex-Governor of Georgia made the papers by rising before the Lions Club of little Eastman, Ga.
